We are a proud member of 
INTERPRIDE

InterPride is an international Association of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Pride Coordinators. Pride Winnipeg Festival Inc. joined InterPride in 2003 when they attended the international conference in Montréal.

These events have connected Winnipeg with Pride organizations around the world and have inspired great ideas on organizing this complicated, but rewarding celebration.

Pride Winnipeg has continued to attend Canadian Region 7 conferences as well as the International conference when possible.

Winnipeg was proud to host the last Canadian Region 7 Conference in 2005 .

InterPride exists

  • To promote Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Pride on an international level,
  • To increase networking and communication among Pride Organizations,
  • To encourage diverse communities to hold and attend Pride Events, and
  • To act as a source of education.

We are a founding member of 
Fierté CanadaPride

Fierté Canada Pride is a Canadian not-for-profit incorporated organization, dedicated to the networking, support and expansion of Pride events throughout Canada. This organization will bring together Pride groups from across our country allowing them to speak with one strong voice for arts and cultural funding, government initiatives, and equal rights issues.
